miami15 Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Everett bashes gays KNIGHT-RIDDER/TRIBUNE CHICAGO - The world already knows Carl Everett believes dinosaurs never roamed the planet. After all, there's no mention of them in the Bible. But the Chicago White Sox's designated hitter unleashes a swarm of new opinions in the July issue of Maxim magazine. The highlights: Wrigley Field is the worst park in the majors: "They need to implode Wrigley." Jose Canseco is a "bitter, ignorant individual." The congressional hearings examining steroid use were a waste: "We have a war going on - I have family in that war - yet we're talking about steroids. . . . If everybody in the world got on steroids, we'll still lose more kids to a war than we will from steroids." Everett has had gay teammates, whom he has accepted, but: "Gays being gay is wrong. Two women can't produce a baby, two men can't produce a baby, so it's not how it's supposed to be. . . . I don't believe in gay marriages. I don't believe in being gay."

MarlinsContinueTo ShowDomi Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 He said he opposed the gay lifestyle, that doesn't make him a bigot. If you assume Carl is a Christian, he theoretically should be against gay marriage, but in our PC world, it makes him "intolerant" and a "bigot."

Nugget Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 To him it's 100% wrong to be gay because you can't produce a baby but having sex with a woman for just pleasure isn't wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiggy Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Dinosaurs are mentioned in the Bible Job 40:15-24 15 ? Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox. 16 Lo now, his strength [is] in his loins, and his force [is] in the navel of his belly. 17 He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together. 18 His bones [are as] strong pieces of brass; his bones [are] like bars of iron. 19 He [is] the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach [unto him]. 20 Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play. 21 He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens. 22 The shady trees cover him [with] their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about. 23 Behold, he drinketh up a river, [and] hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth. 24 He taketh it with his eyes: [his] nose pierceth through snares.

jackarmstrong Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 the guy's got a right to his opinions. 'acceptance' or 'tolerance' doesn't mean you think someone else's beliefs or lifestyles are right or actively agreeing with, it just means not imposing your beliefs upon them.

Guest Fritz Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 The dinosaur thing he said made me laugh. The thought of people hundreds of years ago making dinosaur bones and planting them in the ground and somehow aging them so through carbon-14 dating they appear to be 65 million or more years old is just humorous.
